So if you want to maximize the amount of food there is in the world, you should drop the pig and just grow and eat the corn (and other veggies) you'd otherwise feed the pigs with.

Cows eat grass.....how many people eat grass?

Cows and other animals also eat a lot of waste products that humans don't want, this is also a good thing.

Beef is the biggest consumption in the meat chain.

haha, it doesn't matter man. Soooo much of the stuff we could actually eat goes to animal food...

Hahahaha....good comeback. :thumb:

So you'd rather eat the semi-spoiled veggies...the discolored corn, the carrots that didn't quite grow right, the less than perfect grains?...remember animals get lots of the stuff that humans would not pay for....do you garden?, do you eat a bean that has a big brown spot on it?...nope...but the animals would.

You also realize that meat production drives a huge chunk of the economy...do you actually think they would do it, if it cost more to raise the cow than they made off it in the end?

So you want the economy to crash?

Not to mention, a world full of iron deficient people.......

I think you should really do your research into vegetarianism before you make yourself sound like an ignorant ass.

I don't eat meat because I think it's disgusting. It's flesh to me, not food, so I'm not going to start eating it no matter how bad the economy is. Most people eat meat, so I don't think all the vegetarians in the world would really make that much of a difference.

Plus do you know that some religions actually forbid eating animal products? Does that make them "braindead"?

As for the iron issue, most vegetarian diets are heavy in soy products, and soy among lots of other beans is loaded with iron. Also, most meat replacement products are fortified with extra vitamins and being that vegetarians rely on plants in their diets, we also get the required amount of Vitamin C to better help absorb those vitamins.

I know this isn't the only ignorant statement in your stream of ignorant statements, but I thought I'd address this:

Most of the beef you're going to eat is corn-fed, grain-fed. Only "organic" beef is going to be grass fed, and that would be clearly marked as such.

Also, as for the waste products: They eat it out of necessity, not out of preference. The animals are being bred to be consumed, left in piss poor conditions, and then the only food they are offered is these "waste products". If you were locked up in a stall, I'm pretty sure you'd take whatever food you could get, rather than starve.

It's yummy to me :)
